Winter Tropical Garden---
Notes.

/ yesterday was the Gay SET apart Ill
honor of the farmer and gardener class,
and in consequence the Exposition was
visited by motley crowd of people,
whose outward appearance at once pro-
claimed the fact they were other than
city folks. They came early, and in
numerous cases brought baskets of
provender with them and picnicked in
family groups, country style, around
the fountain and sitting in music hall.
They came early and thereby saw
everything in leisurelY and instructive
manner. They enjoyed Robert Nickle,
the necromancer, in his one hour and a
half in wonderland. Nickle presented
a number of new tricks. and all through
his engagement will make changes daily
of novel and interesting charac-
ter. There were no formal eXer-
cises gotten up for farmers day, but
every body seemed to enjoy them
selves, and especially the young
ones, who were quite numerous.
Liberati gave his usual concerts
afternoon and evening, and of course
they were immensely enjoyed. The
young people delight to commence early
and collect specimen of everything
given away in the building, and when
with cards, soap, signs, prize packets
and everything within range of costing
nothing. The farmers were chiefly at
traeted to the exhibits of the railroads,
the Northern Pacific, Manitoba and the
great and only Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul. Each exhibit is very beauti-
full, comprising as it does Photographic
views of large size of scenery On the
route, tasteful objects done up in the
different cereals along the road, and the
produce of the different sections
through which these lines pass. These
exhibits had a large number round them
all day, and the crowds certainly repre-
scented the farmer element largely.

If there is one thing more than another that
has become penchant with F. L. barrow &
Co., it is in presenting to the public the most

Yesterday morning at the meeting of the
board, it was agreed that Mr.. Ellison had
acquitted himself in every manner honorable
and right as regards the Scandinavian
collection Of pictures and the trouble in re-
gard to Minister Anderson at Denmark was
entirely the fault of the latter. and Mr.. Eli
son was exonerated from all blame in the
matter, the management publicly thanking
him for his services, unanimously voting to
settle the 1913 balance in his favor.
The third number by Liberati's band last
night was Calm Be Thy Slumber, rendered
by the French horn quartette-a new instru-
dition was exceptionally fine, and deserved.
as it obtained, most hearty and cordial en-
core. The instrument, soft and sweet to
degree, but sufficiently powerful to fill the
great hall so that the remotest portion of the
audience could hear distinctly. Mr.. Nickel

graduated.
